First of all let me just say what incredible vibes I've been getting
off sfraves lately. It's so great to see everyone so happy and full
of positve energy. Thanks to you all.
My name is Scott Rector, aka Scotty, aka DJ Bliss. I'm 5'11" with
short curly hair (usually burgundy, sometimes dark blond) I have
blue-gray eyes, a goatee, and a warm smile that I love to share with
other happy people. I wear a floppy velvet hat most of the time, and
allways when I'm raving. It's like the ones you see at Ren-Fair only
better because I make them by hand with great care (BSP).
I grew up in OC and I started raving in LA in 1989. We didn't call
them raves, they were Acid House parties, almost allway illegal
break-in parties thrown in various abandoned warehouses off Alameda
Blvd in LA. I moved to SF in 1991 but it took me a while to find the
scene there. My first SF rave (and 1st time candy flipping) was
Wacky Citrus in 92, It was, and still is, one of the most incredible
experiences of my life. I've been to hundreds of parties since then
but the ones that stick out most in my mind were the first Vision,
and my first full moon at Bonny Doone in 92 (yes there could easily have been 2000
people there - MASSIVE!!!).
The things I love most in life are my girlfriend, art, good cooking,
computers, exploring my spirituality, sensuality, sexuality,
inteligent interaction with positive, free-thinking, caring entities,
and music of all shapes, sizes, and colors. =)
The things I dislike are any close-minded, negative, non-thinking,
non-caring entities. and music with no shape, size, or color. :(
I've been DJing for around three years, though I haven't had many
chances to spin live. I love all types of music but my favorite
music to spin is trance, and progressive house. I love percussion
and I like to play stuff that has lots of interesting rythm, the kind
of groove that gets into your bones and completely entrances you.
I currently live in Santa Barbara with my beautiful girlfriend Leigh,
a wonderful, inteligent, warm-hearted, free-spirited, goddess with
whom I share an open, spiritual, and passionate love. She has just
finished her BA at UCSB, and we plan to move back to the city this
coming spring.
We get up to the Bay Area around once a month to go raving.
Hopefully we'll get to meet some more of our wonderful sfraves
familly in the coming months.
Well thanks to all who read this for letting me share a little bit of
myself with you.
cheers,
Bliss
